See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing.

I argue with wife over what little pieces of real estate investments we should try to pay on and hold, and which to let go back. We always said, Put it in land, and you can always walk on it. We did, but no buyers would walk on it with us.
